Virtual Reality

Click the image above (or here) to watch the video where I and other educators talk about the potential of VR in education.

VR in Education

Virtual Reality is in its infancy, but it’s potential for impacting education is huge! Right now it can transport students to visit places, people, and even worlds that budgetary constraints (and, in some cases, a lack of oxygen) make it impossible to travel. One day, it might allow students to have virtual internships in hospitals and boardrooms, practice a skill, or visualize a design that’s still a work-in-progress. There’s already some great content out there. And in our VR workshops, I’ll show you how easy it is to create a huge impact with simple tools and amazing websites. I’ll even share tools that your students can use to create their own content.

Content Creation

Visiting the worlds created by someone else is cool, but making your own is amazing. I’ll show you some of the apps and tools available to your students so they can start crafting and creating.

Are you ready for a new type of technology PD?

You need technology PD that’s accessible and not scary. Your teachers need to know how to implement the best tools effectively and efficiently. I can help! Together, we can make tomorrow’s education better and brighter.
